East Timor - Famous east timorese

Martinho da Costa Lopes (1918–1991) was a Timorese priest with
close ties to the Portuguese colonial government and an early advocate
for the Timorese people. In 1996, exiled proindependence leader Jose
Ramos-Horta (b.1949) and Bishop Carlos Filipe Ximenes Belo (b.1948)
shared the Nobel Peace Prize. Bishop Belo was the highest representative
of the Roman Catholic Church in predominantly Catholic East Timor, and
was a strong advocate of non-violent resistance. Ramos-Horta served as
the UN representative for the East Timorese cause from 1976–89.
Jose Alexandre "Xanana" Gusmao (b.1946) was a former
FALINTIL (Armed Forces of National Liberation of East Timor) and
FRETILIN (Revolutionary Front for an Independent East Timor) guerrilla
leader and East Timor's first president. He was imprisoned by the
Indonesian army in 1992 and released in 1999. He was elected president
in April 2002.
